Topic: Wyeast Old Ale alternatives (Read 1982 times)

Looking to brew an Old Ale around 8% and 52 IBU's. Was hoping to use Wyeast's Old Ale strain, but all the shops in the area are out of it. What are some of y'all's favorite Old Ale yeasts? Obviously looking towards the London or Ringwood options.

The Wyeast Old Ale yeast has a Brett strain in it, so whichever yeast you go with (I prefer 1469 myself), I would also consider pitching some Brett C in the secondary. That is, if you want to mimic the Wyeast Old Ale strain.
